A new variant cover for Age of Ultron shows a child Ultron bullying child Marvel heroes on the playground.

Source: Press Release

Bucking the anti-bullying trend that's currently all the rage in the entertainment industry, Marvel has released a pro-bullying variant cover for Age of Ultron drawn by Skottie Young. The cover shows a child Ultron standing on top of a heap of Marvel heroes, also depicted as children, and giving kid-Hawkeye what we're going to call a sort-of-wedgie with his arrow holster.

We asked Marvel head honcho Joe Quesada for comment on the shocking image, but he asked us if we were "a sissy" and demanded that we hand over our lunch money. We complied, but he still punched us in our stomach and called us a nerd, and told us we had better come back with more money tomorrow.

We are looking into an alternate route we can take while walking to school in the future, and will keep you updated.

Here's the press release:

You know what, Mr-Climbing-Up-Onto-His-Fucking-High-Horse? There is no fucking difference between me posting in a thread about a cover I don't like and you posting in the Adi Granov cover thread about one YOU don't like.
